Noise Problems: Recommended Guidelines

BlackWorksInc

New member
I've noticed a lot of threads regarding noise complaints and issues lately, most of them tend to be very vauge & unhelpful. This thread is not made to chastise or belittle those and/or any future members who want help for their issues, but rather provide them a rough guideline to better help convey their issue in a manner so that we can start helping them from the first post rather than having to wait for them to provide clarification.

Recommended Guidelines:


~Please provide the Model Year (i.e. '06), Engine (i.e. 4.0L or 2GR-FE), and Trim (i.e. SR%, Sport, or Limited of your vehicle.
~Please provide what sequence of events create the noise. (i.e. When I take off from a stop... ect)
~Please provide what & where the noise is coming from (i.e. "Clunking from under the driver's side area"
~Please provide any additional information that seems relevant (i.e. "when its cold out, only when I mash on the pedal, only when I hop on one foot and turn left, ect)

Ideally if you follow these guidelines we can provide you with a direction and/or possible ideas right from your original post instead of having to wait until you respond, thus making it easier on the forum and helping you out faster! :thumb:

This has been a public service announcement from the crazy people, you may now return to your regularly scheduled truck porn. :music:

This shouldn't be stickied on the main 3rd Gen page.

There is not enough justification for this to be its own sticky. We already have a ton of stickies.

In fact this thread doesn't even contain any useful 3rd gen information. It is 100% not supposed to be a sticky here.

The "Toolbox" is actually a pretty informative thread but that info isn't actually in this thread, just a link to the other thread.

I suggest MOD un-sticky this but put a link to "The Toolbox" (which is ready in 4th gen) within the Technical Information sticky linked below.
